INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
Smith Environmental and Engineering (SMITH) performed a survey of lead-based paint (LBP) on 5 buildings at the Zion National Park South Campground located at 1 Zion Park Blvd, State Route 9, Springdale, UT 84767 from October 21, 2022, to May 26, 2022. Figure 1 shows the location of the Storage Building in the Zion National Park Southern Campground (Demarcated as Building S). This survey of suspect materials included visual inspections and sampling to evaluate the presence/absence of Lead Based Paint.
LBP bulk samples were analyzed by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method SW 846- 3050A utilizing a Flame Atomic Absorption technique (Flame AA 7420). Lead was detected at 18.8% (SMITH 2022), above the 0.5% threshold, in the white paint sample taken from the storage building interior walls and ceiling (S-WP). The goal of this Lead Compliance Work Plan (Plan) is to provide guidance regarding the remediation of lead-containing paint inside the storage building. Following cleaning activities, lead wipe sampling will occur to meet the clearance criteria specified by the EPA (2021). Once clearance levels have been found to be below regulatory standards reoccupation of the structure may occur promptly.
1.2 WORK SCOPE
This Plan has been developed to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Lead in Construction Standard 29 CFR 1926.62.

The work area shall be clearly demarcated with red or yellow hazard/warning tape during the exposure assessment phase of the project. The demarcated area shall include a perimeter sufficient to perform the work. The demarcated area shall consist of the pathway for transport of any lead-contaminated material to a stockpile or storage receptacle if the debris is not immediately transported from the site.
Polyethylene drop sheets, of 6 millimeters or greater thickness, will be placed in areas where the generation of lead dust is anticipated. Critical barriers will be installed to prevent the migration of dust generated during cleaning operations. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary to prevent resettling of dust during cleaning operations.
If at any time during the project the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for lead is exceeded, signs shall be posted in each such work area stating:
DANGER
LEAD
MAY DAMAGE FERTILITY OR THE UNBORN CHILD
CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
DO NOT EAT, DRINK OR SMOKE IN THIS AREA
Prior to beginning work, all porous personal items shall be cleaned using appropriate HEPA vacuuming and or wet wiping methods and stored in a clean area for retrieval. As feasible, personal items should be wipe sampled for lead content prior to release to their owners. If wipe sampling indicates lead contamination, personal items should be re-cleaned or disposed of appropriately.
3.2.2 Access to Demarcated Area
No one is permitted to enter the demarcated area without the approval of the CP. All persons entering the demarcated area are required to be trained in accordance with section 5.3 and comply with all sections of this Plan.
During the initial exposure assessment phase of the project (see section 5.0), no employee shall be allowed to enter the demarcated area without complying with the provisions outlined in section 3.0 and 5.0. If the exposure assessment determines exposures to be below the action level for lead, other personnel may be allowed to enter the control area; however, access may be limited to those personnel with work duties that require them to be present in the demarcated area.
